Ruth Ann Mullennix, 55, is described as white, about 5 feet 6 inches and 115 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. She was wearing blue jeans, a blue, button-down shirt, brown shoes and a maroon coat. Anyone who has information on her whereabouts is asked to call police at 412-473-1251.

North Versailles police said Mullennix was last seen by surveillance cameras March 17 at 8:30 p.m. at the Wilmerding Apartments on Commerce Street.

Police, fire departments and family were actively searching for Mullennix and any clues of her whereabouts under the Westinghouse Bridge on Thursday. By 10 p.m., the search was called off, as firefighters said crews searched the area thoroughly.

Fire departments provided light while police and search crews combed the waters of Turtle Creek and the surrounding area for hours.

Gazzo said her mother suffers from a bipolar manic depressive disorder. She said they spoke just hours before Mullennix left the apartments.

"(I said), 'I think you need to be in the hospital. Why don't we talk about it? Why don't you get to a safe place and get admitted?' She doesn't like to hear that. She doesn't want to be in a hospital. She knows that she needs it, but she doesn't like it when people are telling her that, so she hung up on me," said Gazzo.

North Versailles police said they were joined by Allegheny County and housing police in their search Wednesday night. They pinged the missing woman's cellphone and it was found along railroad tracks under the bridge, with her coat.
